Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does a Typical Deck Installation Project Take to Complete?

A typical deck installation project takes 3-7 days to complete, depending on the deck’s size, design complexity, and weather conditions. We’ll begin with proper planning and permitting, which can take 1-2 weeks before construction. Simple ground-level decks may only require 2-3 days, while multi-level or custom designs with special features can extend to 2 weeks. We guarantee quality results by maintaining realistic timelines for each unique project.

What Types of Wood and Composite Materials Do You Offer?

We offer a wide selection of both natural wood and composite decking materials. Our wood options include pressure-treated pine, cedar, and tropical hardwoods like ipe and mahogany. We carry premium brands of composites that provide excellent durability and low maintenance, including materials that resist fading, staining, and scratching. Each material has unique benefits – wood offers natural beauty and traditional appeal, while composites provide long-lasting performance with minimal upkeep.

Do You Provide Warranties on Materials and Workmanship?

We provide extensive warranties on both materials and workmanship for all our outdoor living projects. Our manufacturer warranties cover all materials used, with specific coverage periods varying by product type. Additionally, we stand behind our craftsmanship with a dedicated labor warranty that protects against installation-related issues. We’ll provide detailed warranty documentation during your consultation, and we’re always available to address any warranty-related questions or concerns.

Are Permits Required for Deck Construction in San Diego County?

Yes, permits are typically required for deck construction in San Diego County. We’ll help navigate the permitting process, which varies depending on your location and project details. Most deck projects need building permits if they’re more than 30 inches above grade, attached to a dwelling, or serve as an exit. We’ll guarantee all necessary permits are obtained and that construction meets local building codes and safety requirements.

What Maintenance Is Required for Different Decking Materials?

Different decking materials require varying levels of maintenance. Wood decks need annual cleaning, staining, and sealing to prevent rot and maintain appearance. Composite decking requires periodic cleaning with soap and water, plus occasional power washing to remove debris. PVC and vinyl decking are low maintenance and need only regular cleaning to prevent mildew. Metal decking simply needs cleaning and checking for loose fasteners or signs of corrosion.
